In Love With My Son-in-Law

I need 10,000 dollars

Ophelia POV

I woke up at about 10:00Am. Actually I had made up my mind that I could be working from home since I took long to fall asleep last night.

Even if I was awake, I stayed in bed as I was still reluctant to get out of bed. I just felt a bit lazy and that I was I was almost taking forever to get out of bed.

Out of the blue, there was a knock at the door,

“s**t!”I yelled as I jumped out of the bed. That must be my daughter , Amara and her husband. I had totally forgotten that she had told me that they were already on the way from their honey moon due to some emergency from the hospital by my son in law, Rio.

I quickly ran to the bathroom to brush my teeth as quick as possible . After that, I had my face washed and then combed my hair still as quick as possible.

Making sure that I was a bit respectable, I headed down stairs to open the door. I am sure my daughter will understand and think that maybe I had been sleeping or something of any sort.

The moment I got to the door, I first stood a bit trying to make my best face and then opened the door ready to welcome the two back from their honey moon.

“You are…

I was cut short by the who was standing at my door. There was just a usual delivery guy. I wondered why he was here since I had not yet ordered for anything at all.

“Good morning , mom. I have a package for you. You can sign here .” he said giving me some where to sign. I did not hesitate but rather just signed and soon he was giving me the package that was just a n envelope.

He then went back towards the gate getting to his motorcycle and then rode away. Out of curiosity, I there and then opened then opened the envelope. There was just single piece of paper. I opened it since it was folded.

Upon opening it, it had some things that were written on it neatly saying;

“hope you are now thinking about how we are going to handle everything that is going on. Am giving you only twenty four hours to think about everything and decide if USD 10,000 could be enough for the first edition.

Yours tormentor .”

I re-read the message once again. Instantly, I felt my legs begin to weaken. I in fact got hold of the door wall just to make sure that I did not end up falling down to the ground.

I managed to move towards the living room and then ‘fall’ onto the couch. I could not believe that this night mare was coming back once again. I thought that I had at least stopped my self from over worrying but this worry is back once again.

What was going to do now that my daughter and Rio were going to be here in just a couple of minutes if I want to be exact.

Who was this person who was doing nothing but rather to torment me and all that stuff. I picked the piece of paper far from where I had thrown it from the other side of the living room and looked at it again keenly. I had not seen this handwriting before.

At least it was not that of my ex-husband since he is one of the suspects that I have . But why could he want to t*****e me in this way since he was the one who left me, cheated on me and then made me sign the divorce papers so that he could marry off my own secretary at that time.

Then for Rio, seriously, I don’t want to even think about the fact that he can ever do this at all. Okay , yes he did kiss me but I can say that it was actually something that he did not intend to . I mean I have tired to think about it but I can’t see any possible reason for him to ask me for 10,000 dollars. He is a successful young doctor and I am more than sure that his future is more than bright.

Then when it comes to Melisa, my daughter’s best friend. Damn it .God , I don’t want to even think about it at all. That is actually being stupid. I am thinking about kidish things that are seriously nothing but rather some crazy ideas.

Just then , there was another knock at the door. This time I was more than sure that it was actually the ones that I was waiting for. Did I say waiting for? Oh no , I was actually not waiting for any one at all. Iin fact what I can say is that I will be more than akwards for me after all that is happening.

I used the back of my hand to dry the tears that were already falling from my eyes. It was so an uncontrollable time for me not to cry as I saw the most value thing in my life just slipping away from my hands just like that .

“Mom , we are hear .’’ it was my Amara’s voice that I had next . I felt my heart skip a second at it but believe me or not , I had to het to that damn door and open it whether I wanted to do it or not.

U stood up and I had to wear my most beautiful face before I could open the door . When I did open the door, there they were my daughter and her husband holding their hands just like any newly married couple.

I looked so keen all over my daughter but not once did I even gaze at Rio. Actually I had promised my self that I could look at him and see if I could spot something in his eyes but that was not actually what I did. I just could not do so and yet at the same time I did not know the reason why I even did that in the first place.

“am so happy to see you back.” Surely , I was feigning this. I was indeed happy that they were back but the situation that I was in at the moment could not let it be.

“You can get in.” I said to the two and let them get in. I stood at the door wondering what was going to be my next step. I did not know whom to trust any more.

“Mom, are you not coming?” my daughter called after man and I indeed had to get inside and sat on the opposite couch next to where the two were sitting .

I swear I was feeling so much tension in the room . The tension that I was actually trying so much to see that I could over come but it was actually something that was actually not easy as any one could think.

“I think I will get you something to drink. The two of you must be very tired after that morning flight.” I announced and stood up immediately moving towards the kitchen. I was so fast that I did not even give the two even a single minute to answer me.

I was actually doing this intentionally with an aim of getting away from the two. In fact I was actually running away from something that I did not even know my self.

As I was still fidgeting thinking about what I was to do next , I heard a presence behind . I quickly turned around only to come face to face with the person whom I did not really want to be here with me…all alone in the kitchen.

He looked at me with so much ease and I also looked back at him. in his face , I did not see anything that was unsual . he was actually the same man who had married my daughter and he was now my son in law.
